TRAILER: Arrival

Deadline recaps:

Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner and Forest Whitaker star in the film that Paramount acquired in a $20M Cannes deal in 2014, when it was still titled Story Of Your Life. The Eric Heissere-penned script, based on a 1998 short story by Ted Chiang, centers on expert linguist Louise Banks (Adams) who is recruited by the military after a dozen mysterious spacecraft begin to hover over Earth. As mankind teeters on the verge of global war, Banks must communicate with the aliens to ascertain what they want and where they are from — but mostly if they are friend or foe.
